All the sources cited in the article refer exclusively to the 2012 controversy, without which the subject wouldn't have any notability. The few infos about the "other" trees are entirely unsourced and possibly false. (If I recall correctly, the 2013 tree was from Norway, not the Ardennes.) All this suggests to me that the article would make more sense if it focused only on the 2012 controversy. Sboucher (talk) 04:26, 20 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
I disagree. While it is not covered in English-language sources perhaps in the same way that the 2012 one was, it is still important in its own right. Besides, personally I find the idea of a "2012 Brussels Christmas tree controversy" article fairly repellent... I note Trafalgar Square Christmas tree also has its own article. —Brigade Piron (talk) 07:08, 20 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
